Pelmet and Sables

Pelmet and Sables is a play by Cee Peal that is in its early developmental stages of production. Two non-human characters, Pelmet and Sables, cannot die because they are not living, but they keep trying to kill each other on their journey to find out what death is, what life means, and what their existence is all about.

Cee will describe what is required to get a play off the ground and how to get started with the early stages of production. Bring your questions for a thoughtful discussion that will be useful for beginning playwrights.
